There is no precedent for the EU offering a longer length of visa-free stay than 90 / 180 days to the nationals of any third country and the Government does not typically enter into bilateral agreements on visa-free travel. Both the UK and the EU provide visa-free arrangements for tourists and short-term business visitors.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 19/04/2021 16:55:39 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
